(Seriously the new men of war only has 3 MP maps and 5 Co-op/Sp maps, and they are selling it for 35/40 dollars. Total rip off)

Those Bastard Americans! Ruining my perfect border selections for Europe

Spike: it says "Now on sale" in Russian. I guess the Russian devs forgot to change out the poster for Western audiences!

There's nothing wrong with it.

Closest comparison is Red Tide, which didn't have any MP at all and as such was lower in price. Vietnam costs the same as Assault Squad, which is 3(!) maps per faction. The unit selection doesn't even vary with the maps, it's all set up rather simply. I love it, but there's no SP to speak off either.

The hell is wrong with expectations today? It says Men of War: Vietnam on the tin and that's exactly what it delivers.

Btw, I'm counting 15 coop/sp maps, not 5 (might be a few extra from special edition, but not 10). At least get your facts straight if you're going to drive something into the ground.

I'll admit that I'm judging off the store page but still, MP has been Men of Wars strong point (past the original game+expansion in my opinion and it just seems like compared to Assault Squads numerous MP maps and even game modes that 3 Maps (6 with on release DLC which btw I consider retarded) is just so little for the price. Maybe if it was like 20 dollars and more of a stand alone expansion to Assault Squad but as an entire game for 35 Dollars? Yeah I can't see any scenario where it would be worth the price.

Admittedly the Co-op/SP maps in Vietnam seem to have more variety then Assault squad but other then that its not 35$ worth of content.

I don't know about you but I expect a fair amount of bang for my buck. I expect games to be re-playable and deliver a lot of content, to not take 10-20 hours to beat and be done with (note I am not taking aim at that game).

BTW I agree with on release DLC (I have really grown to despise DLC and special in-game content for deluxe box). Most DLC is also absurdly over priced for what it delivers, compared to the main game.

Arclight · 09-11-11, 03:22 PM

I dunno, it's still a full game that costs less then 90% of other games out there, and the replayability comes from the coop (if you have no interest trying to crack the missions on the highest difficulty). I payed E27,- for it and I'm having fun playing some more Men of War, so I really don't see where all the negative stuff is coming from.

I mean, I've seen complaints about the Hueys not flyable/controllable: as if any air units in any MoW game were ever controllable. I really feel this is just a case of people's expectations being unrealistic.

Btw Vietnam was developed by the same guys that did Red Tide, it has no direct connection to either the original or Assault Squad. Maybe it's a smaller team, maybe it took more time to make, I dunno, but I see no reason for it to be driven into the ground.

But seriously, even if it's $5,- more expensive then it really should be, can't people just say "no thanks" and pick it up in a month or 2-3 when it gets discounted for the first time? Why the need all the hubbub over $5,-?

(comparing to Red Tide at E20,- which didn't have any MP features)

Oberon · 09-11-11, 06:01 PM

How about a nice game of Chess?

Task Force declares nuclear war on himself.

And an innocent forest somewhere in Central America

Raptor decides to use nuclear weapons instead of dynamite for mass fishing

"Curse you and your sudden, yet inevitable, betrayal!"

And so Africa goes on to lead the world...

Raptor1 · 09-11-11, 06:25 PM

Sometimes you nuke the fish, sometimes the fish nuke you...

Looks like the world peace movement fails again...

Aha, I have predicted your prediction of my prediction of your prediction of my betrayal!

What kind of lunatic throws daggers at people?!

kiwi_2005 · 09-20-11, 06:54 PM

Paid the subscription to try out a ranger. Start the ranger on the other pvp server this server you cannot get killed in towns whew! Damn on the blood and glory server when grabing a quest from a npc nothing is worse when a player attacks you, pvp outside of towns no problem, but pvp while in towns kinda makes you go mad.

Like all hunters/rangers in mmos they are overpowered - the ranger is a great class to level I level faster than I did with the barb and we rangers do kick some serious butt. For one there I was hunting wolves when I spotted a barbarian class player in the distance so went straight to stealth mode to hide from him, he must of seen me cause he starts swinging his axe wildly hoping to bring me out of stealth, I was in the distance watching him go all mad and thought well hes a level 34 Im level 25 it aint a fare fight but who cares Im going to lose anyway so what the hell.

So i come out of stealth and use my pin down shot to slow him down then hit him with all my other shots that are up and before he can even reach me to attack I killed him!

Ranger ftw! Though I am told the ranger loses alot of DPS when at 80. So for now hes a excellent class to play for a newbie. Plus he is even good at melee 1h wep with shield or 2 one handed weapons, compared to a WoW hunter who can't melee without dying within 2 seconds.

Age of Conan = best MMO ive played.

Ive been trying out some UI mods this one below is named FDSII, another good one is Corruption. The game if everything is on high makes my PC chug a bit at times so I have grass on medium and shadows turned off, also directx 9 instead of 10 as when in 10 I get CTD too often.

kiwi_2005 · 09-21-11, 12:17 PM

Starting to look a bit more staunch getting that Conan look

, grouped up with some random players last night where we done some boss quests got me a nice pair of boots and a helmet.

Oberon · 09-23-11, 07:32 AM

Geno-Mariner oversees her AI...doing some oriental cooking?

Geno-Mariner somewhere in the lag

Raptor attacks the prisoner cart while my corpse dangles from it

Bloody Parliamentarians!!

And finally a screenshot from Train Simulator 2012 on full settings. Runs...kinda well, but I'll have to tone it down a bit to run it properly (until they release the patch that lets it run on more than two cores). It's quite beautiful though

Arclight · 09-23-11, 07:42 AM

Ah, was wondering when that would get released. Quite lovely.

...

Well, I guess it makes sense: no one would ever believe him if he told them he was a spy.
